NavyquinWith the rumours of Polota-Nau signing for Leicester that would move Harry Thacker further down the pecking order and Thacker in my opinion is exactly the sort of player we should be looking at.

Seems like he may be off to Bristol (Thacker)

I think Bristol are intent on getting anyone and everyone on board for next season but also heard that rumour recently, thought he could be a good player for us.

When I heard the rumour back in the Summer (or whenever it was) about Polota-Nau, I thought this would have been a great chance to get a good, experienced international hooker. Only then to be disappointed that nothing came of it.

But after seeing a few of Elia's performances, I'm really looking forward to seeing what else he brings to the team. I've enjoyed watching him so far and want to see him get more starts in the AP.

I think I am right in saying he is joining Tigers now(immediately)??. If that is the case I doubt we were ever in for him. We currently have 5 hookers plus Mayhew on loan. You could argue that Polota-Nau could have joined instead of Mayhew but are we in a position to offer someone a full time contract?? I doubt he us cheap. I expect we will sign a hooker in the summer (with Gray off) but the timing prob wasn't right in terms of cap space.
